Wanting to turn my Google Edition into a Developer Edition?

[hjjfffaa]

I have no idea what exactly I'm doing with HTC devices since I've come from Samsung. My phone is a totally stock Google Edition phone so what exactly would I need to use the Developer Edition RUU on my phone? Most of the guides or threads I've read only talk about either carrier versions to Dev Edition or converting a One to Google Edition while also being several months out of date. I'm on HBOOT 1.54, which I think matters.:-[

if you have s-off, u need the RUU for the latest Dev edition and relock your bootloader if u unlocked it.. you need to change the CID to Super CID (11111111) then run the RUU exe. file. it should change you phone to a dev phone, after its done change your CID to the dev version, cant remember the CID name, youll have to look it up. It's going to be unrooted and stock recovery back on. just keep that in mind

But don't I need to unlock the bootloader to do this?

 

[jlopez1286]

no, it has to be locked. so you would need to type in "fastboot oem relock" if im not mistaken. download the RUU from HTC dev website...look for the Brightstar// WWE// 4.3 RUU


here's the website: HTCdev - HTC Kernel Source Code and Binaries

make sure u have S-OFF

Okay so I've unlocked the bootloader, S-OFF'd, changed to superCID, relocked and tried to run the RUU.exe. I keep getting Error 155: UNKNOWN ERROR. Not sure what to do here. I've also tried using the CID BS_US001 and also some combinations involving an unlocked bootloader. All the same error.

You need a locked bootloader to run the RUU.

It is locked using 'fastboot oem lock'.

where do u get that message?? during install??

I got it during the 'sending' portion of the install. It fails and gives me the Error 155. I have a lot of other odd problems when trying to fastboot flash things, too. Not sure what I can do about any of this.

 

[jlopez1286]

I've never seen error 155 before.. u downloaded the correct RUU, right?? Brightstar//WWE//RUU zip?? If u PM ur email to me ill send u the file I used..

 

[hjjfffaa]

I have both the 3.22 RUU and .zip.

You do know the only dfference between your GE phone and the Developers edition is the Developers edition comes with the bootloader already unlocked, So once you unlock your bootloader you have a Developers edition.

Google the error message, I think you need to verify that your boot loader is locked before running the RUU. For some unknown reason, even on the DE, he boot loader needs to be locked before you can run the RUU.
